Description

An appropriate software architecture is fundamental to the long-term success of a product. In this training, participants learn how to establish effective architecture work in their development projects.

They learn how architecture is created iteratively and sustainably: from analyzing architecturally significant requirements to architecture design guided by principles and patterns. Participants also learn how to document, communicate and evaluate architectures in a lightweight manner.

The training imparts these skills through a lively mix of teaching the necessary basic knowledge and directly applying it in practice with a consistent case study. It is based on the iSAQB CPSA Foundation Level curriculum and is accredited by iSAQB.

Remarks

  • Following the training, participants can take the iSAQB CPSA-F certification exam. The certification exam incurs an additional fee of CHF 250 p.p. plus VAT.
  • The training price includes the book “Effective Software Architectures” by Gernot Starke as a printed book including eBook.
